Stephen A. Barker

NOT RECOMMENDED. DOES NOT NEED TO BE IN PRACTICE ANYMORE. Never on time for court, shows up an hour + late every time. Is never prepared. Charges thousands of dollars and does nothing. Never answers calls or texts until the morning of court. Has excuse after excuse for his lack of action on the ca...se. I’ve done everything for myself and even prepared all my own paperwork and documents because Mr. Barker acts like he’s some big shot lawyer who has such a high dismissal rate and is worth $5000+ for a misdemeanor case then charges the same for a felony case? Makes no sense. Embarrassing. He obviously doesn’t realize his brain has gone to the state of early dementia or drug/alcohol abuse. Who knows. I’ve never been so disappointed in a paid lawyer. I’d have been better off with a court appointed attorney at this point, at least I expect them to not do their jobs. DONT HIRE HIM!

My Husband and I have retained Mr. Barker for a family case previously and continuously when a horrible false allegation was placed on me and I ended up with possible felony charges pending. Mr. Barker took it up immediately, relentlessly called daily until given to the prosecutor and once it was, d...issolved it completely! On a Wednesday it was sent to a prosecutor, on Tuesday, it was assigned and on Thursday thrown out. Mr. Barker informed him exactly what he would do at a trial if taken and it was thrown out. Daily Mr. Barker told me to relax, and informed me of any changes. I was an emotional mess even ended up in the ER with an anxiety attack, missed 2 days of work, and was scared to death of being arrested. I have zero criminal history. Thank You Mr. Barker for saving my sanity and name. He is THE BEST!
